REVERSIBLE BELT.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Fel)` 21, 1911.

\Application filed June 3, 1009. Serial No. 500,023.

To all when; 'iz may concern:

Be it known that I, Enwann KUHN, a citizen of the United States, a resident of Memphis, Shelby county, Tennessee, have invented a certain new and useful Improve- Vmeut in Reversible Belts as an Article of lVearing-Apparel, of which the following methodv 'if fastening the buckle.

is a speciticalion.

'lhe object of my invention is to provide au improved hcltl which can be -woru with either sido out and which, when so worn, `will be perfectly finished on either side.

This belt is preferably made of. two colors or -kinds of material; one on each side and is so arranged that one or the other colors or materials is shown coinpleteaud finished however worn.

The belt may be of leather` silk, cloth or of other materie-ls or of f1 combination of one or more of these materials. It is for the use of man or woman.

in the drawing Figure L; is a' perspective of the belt shown unbuckled. Fig. 2 is av perspective of the belt buckled but cut in two to show the two kinds or colors of fabric of which it. may he composed and the Fig. 3 is g a perspective of the belt as itappears when buckled.

,Referring now to the drawings in which the dili'erent parts arc referred to by letters and confining' inydescription at present to i n belt made up ot' two materials, A is one layer of the belt; l is the second layer. Either of which, :isdn-fore stated, may be worn outside. l

` C is a tongue for buckling the belt which engages when the belt is: lusteuml with the buckle D. The tongue C is preferably the same. as the body of the belt which is made up of two kinds or colors of materials A and B, and is-prclerably inscrit-d lil-tween the two layers of the belt pro'per. but '-naiv mfastenedon either .side of same, This tongue is adapted lolie ruu through a hole(fl iu the belt. immedalely in front of the point at which the tonggjue is attached. so thatlhc. tongue may be brought through on either Side of thelcilt. Y

E is a loop adapted to hold down the free end ofthe belt. and is made up. as is the halance of the belt, of two kinds of. colors or materials corrcspondin; r to the two kinds or colors of which the belt is made.

preferably with a straight tongue so that ci ther end of same may he used according as the side A or the side B of the belt is turned outward. i

It will be seen that when it is desired to wear the belt. with the Side A out, the tongue C maybe pulled through the 'E- sidc otl the heit and can be brought through the buckle l) and buckled asis any ordinary belt. The end of the belt beyond the hole C1 is thena loose piece or flap which when brought around over the buckle D and slipped through the loop E gives a belt having the same material or color, A only showing. lf now itis desired to .have the color or material B showing, the belt is unbuckled and loosened and the tongue C is slipped through the hole Cl until it will project on the A side of the belt. The rielt is then placed in the usual manner with the B side out. Tongue() slipped through the buckle D and buckled as before. The loose end of the belt beyond the hole is then brought around aud slipped through the loop E, as before, except that it is on the opposite side of same and the. belt is a complete belt with the color or material B only showing.

lt will thus be seen that by my construction of the belt, I secure in effect two belts of two different colors or materials, either of which maybe worn according to the desire or fancy of the wearer at the particular moment when same is being put on.

Having thus described my invention, what l claim and protect by Letters Patent in the United States is:-

A reversible belt composed of two layers o? material, so that its two sides present diiferent appearances. said belt being provided ucar one end with a hole and a tongue, also ot ditl'erent layers or colors, mount-ed on the la-lt adjacent to said holeand adapted to extend through the hole and over either side l of the belt., and to engage with a buckle on f the opposite end of the belt.

in testimony whereof l have signed in v name. to this specification in the presence ol two Subscribing witnesses.
